Kavli Skinkost

Kavli Skinkost is a popular Swedish creamy spreadable cheese made with smoked ham. The Kavli brand was originally founded in Norway in 1893 by Olav Kavli, and it pioneered the development of the world's first spreadable cheese in a tube in 1924. Today, the Swedish production of Kavli products is primarily centered at their facility in Älvsjö, Sweden, using Swedish ingredients like Swedish smoked ham. The brand is uniquely owned by the Kavli Trust (Kavlifondet), a charitable foundation based in Norway. This ownership structure means that profits from the sale of Kavli products are donated to humanitarian causes, research, and cultural projects rather than going to private shareholders.
